Introduction
The PALACE Program is an innovative way to plan a change project and develop leadership skills and qualities. The 5-day residential program combines theory and strategies of leadership and change management with the priceless lessons that only horses can demonstrate.
The PALACE program is practiced around the development of a change project utilising the most awarded change management project methodology in Australia. You will apply this methodology to complete the key elements of a change project. Throughout the program you will have the opportunity to observe and engage with horses and gain a better understanding of your own approach to leadership and change management.
Why use horses?
Horses demonstrate similar behaviors to those often displayed by humans. Horses are uncomplicated creatures and honest communicators, providing you with immediate feedback about your effectiveness in leading, communicating and working with others.
